New Aid Package Approved For Ukriane

The new aid package is $2.5 billion along with additional combat vehicles.

The Pentagon announced that an aid package worth billions for Ukraine was approved.

The package includes 90 Stryker armored personnel carriers and 59 additional Bradley infantry fighting vehicles. This package marks a key increase in the armored vehicles that the U.S. has committed to Ukraine during its invasion.

The additional aid will be the first time the U.S. will send Stryker combat vehicles to Ukraine. The new package also includes ammunition for the HIMARS rocket system that Ukraine has used with promising results against Russian weaponry.

Originally Germany was expected to send tanks to Ukraine, but it was not approved due to officials stating they will not send their Leopard tanks unless the U.S. sends our Abrams tanks.

The U.S. will not send the Abrams tanks due to the expense of maintaining them.

The new aid package is $2.5 billion along with the additional combat vehicles.
